Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients
  • 2. Place dry TVP into a medium bowl.
  • 3. Chef's Note: Texture vegetable protein, TVP for short, is a high-fiber, high-protein meat substitute made from soy flour and available in a variety of flavored and unflavored varieties, as well as different sizes, from large chunks to small flakes. Most grocery stores sell TVP.

  • 5. Pour the tamari/water mixture over the TVP and stir well. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • 6. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat until hot, but not smoking.
  • 7. Add onion and sauté until onion is well cooked, but not browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • 8. Add the garlic and stir in until fragrant, about 45 seconds.
  • 9. Add TVP to pan and mix with the onion.
  • 10. Add taco seasoning, and the tomato paste.
  • 11. Mix to combine thoroughly.
  • 12. Add additional olive oil to keep the mixture moist.
  • 13. Take off heat, add to taco shells, and dress up.
  • 14. Chef's Note: Taco shells, shredded lettuce, cheese, sour cream ... it's up to you.
  • 15. Chef's Tip: Add to that some of your favorite salsa. Enjoy
  • 16. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll be sure to reduce the amount of chipotle sauce next time.

The TVP in these tacos was a bit dry. I think I'll try soaking it in water before cooking it next time.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. I added some black beans and corn to my tacos, and they were even better.

These tacos were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought taco seasoning packet instead of making my own, and they still tasted delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of TVP, but these tacos changed my mind. The TVP was so flavorful and moist, and the tacos were packed with veggies. I'll definitely be making these again.

These TVP tacos were a hit with my family! The texture of the TVP was spot-on, and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the smoky chipotle sauce. Definitely a keeper recipe.
